Hi I know you can do this. 5/2 = ?

3. rock_mit182

two times 3/4 = ?

4. Spring98

Can you tell me the order? plz

5. rock_mit182

6. Spring98
7. Spring98

8. Spring98

i ma giving you some work!!

9. rock_mit182

lol did you calculate square root of five ?

10. Spring98

ya it is 2.2

11. rock_mit182

:) do it, by the way, where is spring98's calculator ?

12. rock_mit182

Im sorry do it again, because it is not 2.2

13. rock_mit182

square root of five is an irrational number

14. rock_mit182

2.236 and goes on and on with non repeating decimals .

15. rock_mit182

now 2.717171 71 71 and so on with 71 till infinity is greater than square root of five. what do you think ?

16. rock_mit182

besides, 2times 3/4 = 2.75 and 5/2 = 2.5

17. rock_mit182

finally, we need to order them from least to greatest: 2.236 2.7171 2.75 2.5 can you figure this out, now ?

18. Spring98

2.236, 2.5, 2.7171, 2.75

19. rock_mit182

20. rock_mit182

nicely done

21. rock_mit182

22. rock_mit182

23. Spring98

can you tell me it in this form though https://cv-kettle-falls.brainhoney.com/Resource/30603643,0/Assets/75083_53df838b/01_01_10.gif

24. rock_mit182

look what we have: 2.36 ; 2.5 ; 2,71 ; 2.75 or in other numbers ?

25. rock_mit182

2.236 = square root of five; 2.5 = 5/2 2,71 = 2,71 2 times 2/3 = ?

26. Spring98

is that from least to greatest or greatest to least?

27. rock_mit182

$\sqrt{5} ,\frac{ 5 }{ 2 } , ... ?$

28. rock_mit182

least to greatest : from the smallest number up to reach the bigger one

29. rock_mit182

so tell me now the correct answer plz
